| Solutions |
| How to Prevent |
Review scenes at multiple stages in the animation and/or compositing process, and review the final renders for any unintentional intersecting layers. |
| How to Fix |
Depending on the severity and position of the intersection error, it may be possible to address with a reframe or paint fix in online/color. Otherwise, it may be necessary to return to the original animation or VFX, correct, and re-render the affected shot. |
